PadPivot, Waldok accessories reach Kickstarter goals

By Charles Starrett ● Friday, February 25, 2011

Two new accessories, the PadPivot and Waldok, have reached their KickStarter funding goals and are set to become commercial products in the coming days. The PadPivot is a tablet stand for the iPad and other tablet devices, offering a curved base for resting on both curved and flat surfaces, a central, hinge-mounted sticky pad for setting the tablet at a desired angle, and a slot in the front which works to hold the tablet with the sticky pad providing extra support. It is available for pre-order via a $25 pledge. The Waldok is a plug-in speaker/charger for the iPod and iPhone. The device was originally designed primarily for the sixth-generation iPod nano, but has since been modified for compatibility with most docking iPods and iPhones. Features include a 40mm driver, a top-mounted dock, and retractable, flip-out prongs that allow the Waldock to attach directly to a power outlet. The developers are asking for a $59 pledge to secure one of the first Waldok units; neither product has yet received a firm release date.

The plug in speaker/charger looks pretty interesting in my opinion.

Saw the PadPivot at this year’s MacWorld and have to say, was really impressed with it. I have several stands for my iPad -for travel, for my desk, for movies, etc- and now that I’ve spent most of this week in bed sick, I can see how this little unit will come in very handy. I am definitely ordering one.
